The yurt up Fishhook Creek.




This is the description of the yurt from the web site
FISHHOOK HUT
Fishhook Hut sits at 6,800 feet elevation next to a meandering creek in a beautiful meadow deep in the Sawtooth Mountains. The Sawtooth giants rise above the meadows, with spectacular views of Thompson Peak (the highest in the Sawtooth), Williams Peak, Mount Heyburn, and Horstman Peak framing the cold and blue Rocky mountain skies.

Fishhook Hut consists of two separate structures: a Mongolian–style Yurt and a pioneer style wall tent connected together by a lodge pole pine framed walkway.

All of the amenities for a comfortable stay are stocked at Fishhook: two wood stoves for heat, lanterns for light, bunks with mattresses, a three burner propane stove for cooking, all pots, pans and other cooking equipment, all tableware and utensils, a Dutch-oven (bring your own charcoal), books, board games, playing cards, magazines, two covered outhouses.

Moreover, a wood fired HOT TUB makes this hut extra special!


Approach to Fishhook Hut
Guests need to bring only a sleeping bag, personal clothes and food. Fishhook sleeps 8 in the Yurt and 6 in the wall tent.

The approach to Fishhook is a gentle four mile tour, either following a meandering creek or along a beautiful ridge-line.

Fishhook is an ideal destination for tour oriented skiers or snowshoers, with many opportunities for scenic tours through the meadows and forests of Fishhook Valley.

For advanced skiers and boarders, there is also fantastic downhill potential on the big Sawtooth peaks above the valley.

Its me again not the web site any more. Anyways I am thinking in January some time. I think unless people have certain days they are really interested in I am just going to pick 3 or 4 days and just put it on my card.
